Westy Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Just recieved some stickers from California... Includes a free limited edition mirror Gold one. Only other update is that the underbody heatshields have been removed, sanded, rust treated and painted like my fuel tank cover to ensure they last.

Westy Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've been tidying up a few parts underneath the rear of the car in prep for fitting the shine auto diffuser...I've never had any clearance issues but my exhaust does sit at an angle and tbh the pipe work looks a lot bigger than I thought it was! The outlet diameter measures 4.78" and the pipework back to the decat measures in at 3.82"!!!! Looking at the ground clearance at its lowest point right under the ARB brackets I genuinely don't think the diffuser will fit without cutting a sizeable section out!? Has anyone else had this issue!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Have you offered the diffuser up to it to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 ... And big up for all your jubilee polishing,I've no patience for that!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Have you offered the diffuser up to it to see? I will once I've refitted all the parts I've taken off, but measuring the distance from the ARB to the lowest point on the exhaust vs the size of the brackets it will not fit. Ooooo don't cut it man! Can you not have the exhaust changed slightly? That's what I did I don't want to have to cut it mate, but there is very little give in the exhaust. The circumference of the pipework is 12" and the ground clearance isn't filling me with hope. - - - Updated - - - ... And big up for all your jubilee polishing,I've no patience for that!!!!

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Just offer the diffuser up mate and cut it if needed but take your time. All the doluck diffusers need cutting alot, to clear the back boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 So as I previously said, I've been freshening up a few parts in prep for the rear shine diffuser being fitted. One part that was showing its age and had some minor surface rust was the exhaust heatshield. This is it after removal, rust treatment and a few coats of paint. Bottom in silver and the top in black as it is visible from the rear nearside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Drop Links Refurbished: Titan ARBs Refurbished: My Titan ARBs were showing signs of surface rust around the bolt holes where the bolts must have broken the surface of the powdercoat, but seeing that they were in otherwise mint condition, I decided that having them re-powdercoated would be a waste of money. So instead they got sanded back, rust treated and the ends repainted with three coats of Hammerite. I also did the brackets and drop links at the same time.
